Re: Het Axanthic x Het Axanthic
Last year was my first time breeding balls and I let my female maternally incubate. I didn't have to do much more than I usually do for my snakes during that time besides providing her with a lay box, which is something I always do for my corns so I figured it would just be just as appreciated by my ball. The idea that you have to regulate the humidity and temperature in the cage is wrong. The female coiling tightly or loosely around her eggs regulates the humidity. As long as the humidity in her enclosure is adequate for her, she can do the rest for her clutch.
I would say go for it because it was very rewarding in my experience. I've incubated corn eggs and jungle carpet eggs and while watching those eggs pip was great, it just pales in comparison to having little heads pipping out within their mother's coils.
